Thinkpad T440p crashes randomly after upgrading to kernel 3.13.4

lapa · 2014-02-22 16:41:57

Sometimes ext4 filesystem errors. Sometimes segment fault. Not able to get into X.

Running on the latest BIOS.
Had no problem with the previous 3.13 release (3.13.3?) or linux-lts (3.10).

Any idea?

Check dmesg for OOPS or memory corruption caused by some buggy driver?

Looks severe, better backup your data btw.

Fortunately no damage was done to the file system in the crashes. Everything seems to be fine booting with a good kernel.

The failures have something to do with the nouveau module. The new kernel 3.13.4 works fine after nouveau is blacklisted in a .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d.

I don't see any nouveau specific changes between 3.13.3 and 3.13.4. Maybe you could do a git bisect? It should not take long since it's just a small amount of patches.

I think you could really help if you reported this to the kernel. But I would suggest you bisect first as they will recommend that too.

Sorry I don't know to do git bitsect. I think something causes memory corruption. I saw a lot of file system errors or segment fault on the console, but everything gets back to normal with a different kernel.

Below are some segments from Xorg.0.log. Hope it helps.

Your previous post is incomplete.

Git bisect is not hard. Especially between stable releases as there are not a lot changes.

There seems to be invalid pointers. Note the hilighted lines in dmesg below.

bumping the thread -- faced with the same problem

Iapa, please use code tags when posting snippets. I have added them to your posts this time.

actionless · 2014-04-09 10:50:47

also i noticed what it stabely reproduces at least after commands lspci and lsmod

abbradar · 2014-05-10 15:04:25

This problem is discussed at [1]. Workarounds are to disable runpm in nouveau and use acpi_call to disable nvidia if you are not going to use it (see this page for more help), or to downgrade BIOS to 1.14.
